After we had lunch at St John Bread and Wine, we drove around the East End of London. One of the places I really wanted to visit on this trip is a shop called Labour and Wait. A friend had told me about it, and it seemed like the English version of Manufactum, a store in Munich that I am pretty much obsessed with. It was really small, but had a very nice edit of things. Also on that street (Cheshire) were a couple of other cute shops. It's definitely a street to check out, as is the area around Calvert Street (I really liked the look of this cafe called Leila ), and around the new-ish Terence Conran hotel called the Boundary.
